Please can you provide a comprehensive list of educational assets (that is: land and school buildings) transferred from your local authority to the Church of England (also "Diocese") between 2010 and 31 December 2023.
I would be grateful if you could also provide the following information:

• whether the transfer of assets came about as part of a school merger
• if yes to the above, the name and type (community, voluntary aided, voluntary controlled, free school, academy, etc) of school following the merger.
There are two C o E schools that transferred to the Chelmsford Dioses under the Vine Trust as part of the academy conversion process.
